Many Hours In The Rear of Her Ri
| val-A Rough Passage I'm Which
| Two Men Have Narrow Escape.
Cork, March 2S-The Dauntless crossed
the finish line at 645 p. M, the actual time
| of her voyage from start to finish being 16
| days. 1 hour, 43 minutes and 10 seconds.
| The experience of the Dauntless was in many
| respects similar to that of the Coronet,
| though all things considered she may be
| said to have Jared worse. Several times
| during the passage her officers and crew
| were warned by changes in the temperature
OF the atmosphere and water of the proximi-
| ty of icebergs and once passed field of foe
ice dangerously near to the vessel. On
March 22d the Dauntless was struck by q
hurricane which compelled her to heave to
for twenty-three hours. During the gale
two men who were at the wheel were washed
over the taffrail, but were fortunately lashed
to the vessel and drawn on board by their
comrades. The cockpit was flooded and for
a time there was the utmost danger of the
yachts laundering. Pouring oil on the
troubled waters was resorted to and this had
the effect to mitigate the fury of the waves
until the gale abated The officers of the
Dauntless aver that the average weather dur
ing the trip was the toughest they ever ex
perienced, The best twenty four hours run
during the voyage was made on Friday last
when the yacht covered 1928 miles. The
Dauntless has been safely towed into port
and is now lying at anchor in the harbor.
The Dauntless when first sighted was max
ing little Roadway and struggled laboriously
along the coast until she reached the coast
after tedious day. Her log shows the num-
Der of miles made each day to have been as
follows: Sunday, March 10, 232; Monday,
cd n.
day, 14O; Friday, 40; Saturday, 270; Sun
day, 145; Monday, 1876; Tuesday, 100; Wed
nesday, 43 during twenty three hours of
Tuesday and Wednesday she hove-to in
hurricanel; Thursday, 2o5; Friday, 1928; Sat
urday, 266; Sunday, 143, and from Sunday
town 1876 miles. On Thursday
the water tank sprang aleak
and the entire supply of water ran out, leav
ing the officers and crew to assuage their
thirst with ale and claret. The supply of
these beverages was soon exhausted and the
tired sailors were driven to the extremity of
drinking champagne. The yachts
chored near together and as the Dauntless
was towed alongside her victorious adversary
heavy interchange of cheers was given by
both crews. All on board both vessels are
we'll.
Captain samuels Of the Dauntless details
the state OF the weather during his voyage as
follows: "For the first three days of our
passage the weather was fair with fresh gales
and high seas. On Wednesday we encount-
cred strong gale and heavy cross seas, which
later, however, became less violent the
wind lessened toward night. During the
following three days we experienced bur
ricane of the most violent description and
not once during the three days did its force
abate. There was scarcely day throughout
the voyage that was not marked by rain, baf-
fling winds out and high seas, and altogether
1 may say that the passage was as rough as
any one I ever experienced"
